The Book Junkie Reads . . .
Review of . . . MAKE ME STAY (Panic, #2) . . . Loveswept has allowed for Sidney Halston to
sweep me away again in the beauty of Miami Beach and the alluring, danger,
drama, desire, and intrigue of the nightclub atmosphere. This time round we are
back at Panic and Matt has continued his search for the one woman that set his
world on fire. Then she is there. With secrets, drama, and an all-consuming desire
that each have held onto. April never meant to fall in love. She never wanted
to bring Matt in to her world of lies, deceit, and alternate identities. She
was a woman with a job to do. She just never expected to find that one love of
her life.

Matt
and April had so much to put back together and so much to lose. This was a read
that took me all the way. It gave me more and then more. The angst, drama,
desire, respect, secrets, lies, love, passion, and so forth. The read did no
leave me needing. I get both the story of before and the story of now. They had
a connection but she had a job. We see how they fell in love in the beginning. We
also get to watch as that love brings them back together to build something new
and lasting.

Sidney
Halston gives me a read that pulls me in in more than one way. She draws on the
depth of her characters, the richness in the plots, and combines this with the drama,
passion, and support characters. The way she melds the before and after makes
the read make sense. There was no huge gaping hole that left me wanting more.
April and Matt find there but with challenges. If you read book one then you
need to very much pick up book two of this series. If you have not read book
one and want to start this series go ahead pick up this one and see Matt’s struggle
to find that love that he knows will complete him. While April works to fix her
world, and regain her love. This was a second chance romance that gave you the
whole story.

April: Walking away from
Matt Moreno was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Lying to him was a close
second, but for his safety, I had no other choice. I was undercover, working to
put some nasty people behind bars. But when Matt nearly recognizes me on
Lincoln Road a year later, all those very real feelings come rushing back. Now
that my assignment’s almost over, will he understand why I lied? Why I had to
leave? Most important, can he ever forgive me?

Matt: I was
madly in love with June Simpson . . . or, at least, with the woman I thought was
June. Then she just disappeared while my family’s nightclub went through hell.
And after months of searching, when I think I’ve finally found that sexy, raspy
voice and those exquisite blue eyes, she slips away once more. Turns out,
“June” is actually Detective April White. She’s been playing me the whole time.
And she’s about to rock my world all over again.

PULL ME CLOSE

“Slide
over, will ya? I need to order a drink.” He sounds as if he’s already had
enough drinks and doesn’t need another one. I’m about to tell the guy where he
can stick his drink when I see her reach into her purse and pull out her phone.
I’m mesmerized. What is she doing? The jerk is staring at her, waiting for her
to move, but she’s reading a text instead, completely ignoring him.

But
then the man makes the wrong decision. He grabs her elbow and pulls her up from
the stool.

“Hey!
Get your hands off me!” she shrieks. Her eyes, a piercing light blue that’s
almost translucent, glare at the man.

“Is
everything okay?” I ask loudly, to be heard over the music.

“Miller
Lite,” the guy has the fucking nerve to call out.

But
she speaks over him. “No. Everything’s not okay. This guy grabbed me.”

“Calm
down, honey. You’ve been sitting here all night. Some of us need room.”

“Well,
you could say ‘excuse me.’”

“And
you can move your fat ass,” he spits back. “It’s not like you need any more
drinks.” At that, her mouth opens wide and she gasps. From what I can see there
is nothing fat about this woman, but even if there was, the guy’s totally out
of line. With both palms on the bar I lean forward and get in the man’s face.
“Outta my bar—” But I don’t have a chance to finish before she lifts her glass,
stands up, and slowly and deliberately pours the entire drink over the guy’s
head, olives and all.

Swear
to God—swear to fucking God—all the lights, the music, and the people dancing
come to a screeching halt as she slams her empty glass on the table and calmly
sits back down. “Another martini, please,” she says sweetly, batting her
lashes.

USA Today bestselling
author, Sidney Halston lives her life with one simple rule:
"Just Do It"--Nike. And that's exactly what she did.

After working hard as an attorney, Sidney picked up a pen for the first time at
thirty years old to begin her dream of writing. Having never written anything
other than very exciting legal briefs, she found an outlet for her imaginative,
romantic side and wrote Seeing Red. That first pen stroke sealed the deal, and
she fell in love with writing. Sidney lives in South Florida with her husband
and children. She loves her family above all else, and reading follows a close
second. When she's not writing, you can find her reading and reading and
reading. She's a reader first and a writer second. When she's not writing or
reading, her life is complete and utter chaos, trying to balance family life
with work and writing (and reading). But she wouldn't have it any other way.
